I received this foundation as a part of the review panel and absolutely loved it. I have been using it for over a week and the coverage is sheer but goes on smoothly and visibly reduced the look of imperfections. I have been battling adult acne for the past year and have had difficulty finding a foundation that covered the breakouts without being too clumpy and I have to say that Marcelle vieled whereas other foundations just built up on the acne. I was given barely there shade and it was a perfect match to my skintone.
The added benefits of the product for my overly-sensitive skin were that it was non scented and non irritating. I have noticed a subtle change to the texture of my skin since using the product, as it feels smoother and my breakout is clearing faster. The moisture has returned to my lacking face and I wonder if this is part of the anti-winkle claim. Wishing that they had been more specific in their labeling but in the age of the internet if i wanted more answers than i guess i could find it online. Overall, Marcelle has won me over! Although, the product is a tad pricey it does a great job. I will be buying again. Thanks for the opportunity to try this foundation, it was a lifesaver for my skin!

I recently had a coupon for this new product and thought i would give it a try. I was seriously impressed with it. I love the soft scent and the fact that it was so soothing to the underarm area after shaving. My 10 year old daughter also uses it and she smells fresh all day long. That is a feat all in itself...phew! I give this ant-perspirant top marks and plan on replacing my favourites for it. -

First off, i am generally not a fan of chicklit books. I like a good mystery suspense when reading but picked this book up at the urging of a friend. I have to say that the beginning of the book didn't have me sold but as i got into it the dialogue picked up and the story entralled me. I have to say that i am now picking up other Sophie Kinsella books to read because she is a genius storyteller. Great, feel-good book! -
Vera Wang Princess Perfume
My husband bought this perfume for me for christmas. I love the scent! I am not one who loves to smell so perfumy and this certainly was light and fresh. A classic. The bottle is also sweet. Will become a new essential to my beauty routine.

The package contains a combination lip stain and plumper, and sadly i got on the twilight bandwagon and bought this up as soon as it came out. According to DuWop:
This product should be shaken before use to represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds and applied repeatedly until lips are plumped, revitalized and the desired intensity of color has been reached.
The drawbacks were: Oddly, the packaging reminds me of blood being drawn, and it can be a bit off-putting. When taking the applicator out of the vial the colour stays beaded even though it looks the brush looks saturated so the colour that is applied is quite blotchy. It is very hard to get an even application and the intensity of the red can look very harsh. I found the stain to be very drying on the lip. The trademark bite of the product was also not present. Overall i love Duwop lipvenom but will not buy this version again.

I recently went into a Lush store for the first time. Truthfully, the steep prices have been a deterrent but after hearing such great things about their products i though i'd give it a try. The first product that I choose was the Imperialis Moisturizer. Its a strange pink colour, and its smell is strangly medicinal.. But i actually like this moisturiser. Its good for oily skin and good for calming skin as well. I have started to get alot of spots as i reach my 30's....adult acne, what fun! But, since i started using this product fco-workers are commenting on how clear and smooth my skin looks. I find that it is clearing my skin and i have had feweer outbreaks. It's a light moisturizer, and it doesnt linger on your skin, and make you feel 'coated' in product. Definitely a keeper, and a great 'treat' for myself.
